Christie Brinkley Making Divorce Trial Public

Forget how a divorce will affect the kids, a bitter and angry Christie Brinkley asked a judge to air her estranged husband Peter Cook’s dirty laundry in the media, and the judge agreed. The judge, Mark D. Cohen, said in a five page ruling:

"… open courtrooms, in general and in divorce actions, may provide a basis for societal education. The required high burden of compelling reasons to close the courtroom has not been met."

What about the fact that a media circus will be detrimental to the children? Once again the court is less concerned about the children than other matters, like satisfying Christie’s desire for revenge.

Cook’s lawyer, Norman Sheresky, expressed disappointment and admonished Brinkley for pushing to keep the trial open. Sheresky said:

"Obviously, like any father, Peter is disappointed Christie Brinkley has invited their children to attend the divorce trial. Why would anyone be happy about that? It’s putting herself in front of her children."

Christie wants to make the father look like a bad man in front of his children, like any angry women would to get her revenge. This is going to have a very negative impact on the children’s psychological development, which Christie will no doubt blame on Cook as well. It’s a tragedy that our court system continues to encourage this type of child abuse. Divorce trials should never be public when children are involved.
